July's Fresh from the Roaster Releases
Mid summer marks the arrivals of new crop coffees from Central and South America and Africa. If you don't see your favorite coffees on our offering sheet this month, keep in mind that there are plenty more on their way to the Gimme Roastery - like the Costa Rica Las Lajas organic, Ethiopia Amaro and Honduras Linda Vista Cup of Excellence lot! But that's getting ahead of the game... this month we're releasing two new Colombian coffees, and giving a little extra attention to some old favorites.
Java Blawan
Indonesian coffee is in a class of its own. The Blawan Estate from the
country of Java, is a dark roast lover's paradise. This coffee has a
complex aroma of dark bakers chocolate and a bit of menthol. One of the
characteristics that I love about the Java is that it doesn't let me
forget which coffee I am drinking, because of its long, smooth finish.
Guatemala Asobagri
We've been invested in the Asobagri Cooperative's coffee for many years
now, and this year's crop might be the best I've tasted yet. This
Guatemala teeters between mild and lively, with a great sweet
acidity lends to one heck of an iced coffee, or a French Press. The new
crop is in house and will be sticking around for about 6 to 8 months.
Colombia Las Animas
For the past two months we have been roasting through a microlot of
Colombia San Rafael. We've received rave reviews from those lovers of
'purple fruit' in their coffee. For the next to months we will be
roasting another microlot called Colombia Las Animas, which from the
same region of Concordia, Colombia. This coffee is different in that it
has no considerable dark fruit sugars, but has that complex cranberry
sweet, tart and dry thing going on.
Colombia Las Mingas Organic
We've taken your favorite Relationship Coffee and made it organic! Ok,
that's not really how it happened, but we have picked up a small lot of
beautiful organic Colombian coffee from the Las Mingas program. Most of
the coffee that we have purchased through the Las Mingas program comes
from the Nariño region, though this coffee comes from the region of
Cauca. You can expect the same level of quality as our other lots of
Las Mingas, though the organic lot is predominantly floral, with honey
and maple syrup flavors. Yum!
